DENVER (CBS4) – Struck by Cupid’s arrow? Then you will likely buy your sweetheart a Valentine’s Day gift. Dealnews.com, a retail tracker, has researched the best deals.

Woo your beloved with wine — not chocolate. Last year Godiva and Ghiradelli chocolates went on sale 10 to 50 percent the day after Valentine’s Day.

You may be tempted to buy some lacy lingerie, but “buyer beware.” Big chain stores like Victoria’s Secret did not offer enticing discounts last year. Instead, opt for winter wear. In February retailers slash prices on heavier coats in anticipation of spring apparel.

If you procrastinate, don’t fret. Beauty deals were the best in the days just prior to Valentine’s Day. Stores like the Body Shop have discounted items of up 80 percent.
